Mr. Speaker, this is not about Cohere. Canadians have seen this self-dealing Barton Liberal playbook before with McKinsey. They shape public policy and then benefit from the results. Patrick Pichette and Jordan Jacobs were both appointed to the Prime Minister’s AI council, and both sit on the board of Cohere. Jacobs co-founded Radical Ventures, where Barton is a partner. Together, they backed Cohere in its early stages and advised the Prime Minister on Canada’s AI strategy. Now the company they invested in has received $1.6 billion in taxpayer funding. When will the Liberals stop using taxpayer dollars to align public policy that enriches well-connected Liberals?
